  • I'm sorry you've had to go through that. I've struggled with manipulative people and communities too, its sadly too common.

    Not sure the connection with the acronyms and the issues they can have but im certainly not denying the existence of transmisogyny. There was an old thread from a year ago where I talked about it, never ended up making the effort post sadly

  • Year old comments about how tme/tma was and still is very badly used by people on tumblr and elsewhere, especially against enby and transmasc comrades.

    I get the idea of the acronym but I feel like sadly it just ends up being a repackaged essentialism.

  • It's gone back and forth. I'd rather people didn't use it tbh, I have big problems with those terms. We had a bunch of discourse here about it a while back iirc

  • Got and finished Chants of Sennaar, amazing game

    Also I beat XCOM enemy within I had never gotten far in the first remake, and now started XCOM 2. Very nice but I can't ever play these kinds of games without being overwhelmed and exhausted after a few missions.

    Not sure what to get into next. I was playing ratchet and clank 3 and stopped then forgot, could get back into that.

  • Oh dang i was looking at Disturbia, do they have no good +size options? I've been getting a bunch of stuff from Midnight Hour, if you like Disturbia MH has a lot of witchy/gothy stuff and they do often have +sizes, some of the recent trousers even have options for leg length. It's in the US so i only did a big order twice and it cost me a bunch in delivery fees, but I love their style.

    I used to get L in men sizes, now I need 2XL for women sizes..

  • The neat thing about being a communist is that you don't have to worry about what upper middle class folks think (a holidays with family rant)

  • A thing I remind myself about often, is that the overwhelming majority of people in the world are on my side. It can be maddening when you deal with actual capitalists and the orbiting bourgeoisie or petite bourgeoisie, but they are alone, they are a shrinking minority, and they have swallowed all the lies that their grandparents crafted. Blind idiots.

  • Finished Kingdom Come Deliverance! Fun game despite the jankyness and sometimes-poor writing.

    Started XCOM: Enemy Within again, i had played almost a full campaign years ago but never finished it, so i'm playing again. I tried a couple campaigns before i really got back into the groove, I was losing countries which frustrated me, and I tried classic once but the change in percentage chances immediately pissed me off. Normal is fine for me. Haven't lost countries so far but i'm mega-prioritizing satellites this time.

  • Pluribus is boring as fuck

  • Eh I like it. It's very slow paced on purpose it seems, and I enjoy that.

  • Yea! As I said, i don't mind the tropes in themselves, but I felt like Le Guin was just starting to play with them in the first book, and having the first book along with all the others makes it so much better to me, because of how it evolves later.

  • Despite it being less mature and falling into the trope of the standard masculine protag that goes to magic school and is kinda the chosen one, already at the time she was putting a lot of tropes on their heads and deconstructing a lot, but it only gets better!

    Like yea I didn't mind the tropey nature of the protag by the end because the story isn't what you expect. He fucks up in a major way and has to heal himself to fix things, his internal feelings are very well described. From what I remember I didn't like the position/writing of women in the first one but the second one is literally centered around women and I found it incredible
